What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  Lovable Shrek is King when it comes to the cash, but his is far far away from his crowning moment. | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Jacques Liebenberg Verbasend vermaaklik. | 10 | |
| Cape Times Carina Chocano | 10 | |
| iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden Although still entertaining and impeccably presented, the playful ingenuity of the first instalments has been replaced by a sense of malaise and predictability. | 10 | |
| Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 12 |  |
| The Citizen Peter Feldman Shrek has certainly come a long way since his solitary days in the swamp — and it's been a fun, undemanding journey. | 16 |  |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge It's not dreadful or dull but feels contrived and somewhat unoriginal. | 5 |  |
| 24.com Alistair Fairweather If the visuals are the best thing about a Shrek film, then something is very wrong. | 10 | |
| Box Office Chad Greene 'Ogre' the hill: It's the croaking Frog King Harold who unwittingly provides the metaphor for the state of this fairytale franchise... | 8 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Shrek the Third is a damped-down return to the Kingdom of Far Far Away, lacking the comic energy of the first brilliant film and not measuring up to the second. | 13 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Four words say all that needs to be said about Shrek the Third: more of the same. | 13 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers There's no disguising the fact that Shrek the Third has come down with a bad case of sequelitis. | 10 | |
| ScreenItWhile undeniably the most technologically impressive entry of the bunch, the film suffers in the area that's most important, the script.
